Scroll wheel support (Mac OS)
You can use a pointing device (mouse) equipped with a scroll wheel with FileMaker Pro for Mac OS to browse through records, scroll up and down, and scroll in a field or portal formatted with a vertical scroll bar.
To use the scroll wheel to move through records in Browse mode:
 •
In Form View, hold the mouse cursor over the book or slider in the status toolbar, then rotate the scroll wheel. FileMaker Pro scrolls through records as if you were clicking the left and right pages of the book.
 •
In Form, List, or Table View, hold the mouse cursor over the document window, then rotate the scroll wheel. FileMaker Pro scrolls through the list of records as if you were clicking on the up and down arrows in the vertical scroll bar.
To use the scroll wheel in other modes:
 •
Hold the mouse cursor over the document window, then rotate the scroll wheel to scroll up and down in the layout, preview, or find request as if you were clicking on the up and down arrows in the vertical scroll bar of the document window.
To use the scroll wheel to move up or down in a field formatted with a vertical scroll bar in Browse or Find mode:
 •
Click in the field, hold the mouse cursor over the selected field, then rotate the scroll wheel. See Adding scroll bars to fields for more information.
To use the scroll wheel to move up or down in a portal formatted with a vertical scroll bar in Browse mode:
 •
Click in the portal (but not in a field), hold the mouse cursor over the portal, then rotate the scroll wheel. See Creating portals to display related records for more information.
Note  Refer to the documentation that came with your pointing device for complete instructions on how to use it.
